Wheat quality mainly includes processing quality, edible quality,
nutritional quality, etc. The merits and demerits of quality are
reflected by quality indexes, such as ash content, flour property,
gluten quantity and quality, etc. Wheat conditioning is a very important
process in flour milling. Proper conditioning method can improve these
quality indexes and finally improve the processing quality and edible
quality of wheat. Conditioning temperature, time, and water addition are
three important indexes for wheat conditioning and have great influence
on flour milling and affect flour’s quality property to a certain
extent. Medium gluten wheat is a wheat variety most widely grown in
China and is fairly suitable for traditional flour-made food.
